Definitions
- the following is directed to abrasive tools and methods of finishing complex shapes in workpieces using such abrasive tools, and more particularly, use of bonded abrasive tools having particular shapes for finishing of complex shapes within workpieces.
- broaching can be an expensive operation, due to high tooling costs, expensive machinery, set-up costs, tooling regrinding costs and slow material removal rates. Milling processes are generally very slow, especially in machining difficult-to-machine materials, such as nickel alloys. Still, in the context of forming retention slots in turbine disks, which are used to hold or retain turbine blades around the periphery of the disk, broaching is the preferred approach throughout most of the industry.
- broaching machine which is a linear cutting machine that drives successively larger cutters through the disk slot, with the final cutters having a desired complex shape (i.e., a re-entrant shape) of the finished slot.
- Broaching is illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 5,430,936 to Yadzik, Jr. et al.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,330,326 to Kuehne et al Another method for producing profiled parts is illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 5,330,326 to Kuehne et al.
- the method involves pre-shaping and finish grinding a blank in one chucking position with at least one profiled grinding wheel.
- the blank is translated and rotated relative to the at least one profiled grinding wheel during the pre-shaping step for giving the blank approximately a desired profile.
- the Kuehne method may be used for external surfaces, and not internal surfaces, and thus is not applicable to the creation of internal slots.
- an abrasive tool includes a bonded abrasive body having abrasive grains contained within a bonding material, wherein the bonded abrasive body comprises a complex shape having a form depth (FD) of at least about 0.3, wherein the form depth is described by the equation [(Rl-Rs)/RTJ.
- FD form depth
- Rl is a largest radius at a point along the longitudinal axis of the bonded abrasive body.
- a method of finishing a workpiece includes rotating a bonded abrasive tool relative to a workpiece for finishing a re-entrant shape opening in the workpiece.
- the bonded abrasive tool includes a bonded abrasive body having abrasive grains contained within a bonding material, and wherein finishing comprises forming a surface defining the re-entrant shape opening having a surface roughness (R a ) of not greater than about 2 microns.
- a method of operating an abrasive tool includes finishing a re-entrant shape opening in a workpiece using a mounted point abrasive tool comprising abrasive grains contained within a bonding material.
- the body has a complex shape having a form depth (FD) of at least about 0.3, wherein the form depth is described by the equation [(Rl-Rs)/Rl], and Rs is a smallest radius (Rs) at a point along the longitudinal axis of the body and Rl is a largest radius (Rl) at a point along the longitudinal axis of the body. Notably, Rs is not greater than about 10 mm.
- the method further includes plunge dressing the mounted point abrasive tool along a form length of the body.
- Another aspect includes a method of finishing a workpiece including providing a workpiece having a re-entrant shaped opening roughly formed in a surface of the workpiece, and finishing the re-entrant shaped opening using a mounted point abrasive tool comprising abrasive grains contained within a vitreous bond. During finishing, a water-soluble coolant material is provided at an interface of the mounted point abrasive tool and a surface of the workpiece defining the re-entrant shaped opening.
- FIG. 1 includes a schematic representation of a slot formation process.
- FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) include schematic representations of slots that can be generated by the slot formation process.
- FIG. 3A includes an illustration of a finishing operation using a bonded abrasive tool according to an embodiment.
- FIG. 3B includes an illustration of a finished opening in a workpiece having a complex shape, wherein the finished opening is formed using a bonded abrasive tool according to an embodiment.

- FIG. 5 includes an illustration of a dressing operation on a bonded abrasive tool having a complex shape according to an embodiment.
- FIGS. 6A-6B include plots of performance parameters measured during a finishing operation conducted according to an embodiment.
- bonded abrasives are a separate and distinct class from other abrasives (e.g. coated abrasives, etc.) in that bonded abrasives have a three-dimensional shape including a dispersion of abrasive grains throughout out a three-dimensional volume, which are contained within a three-dimensional volume of bonding material.
- bonded abrasive bodes may include some amount of porosity, which may facilitate chip formation and exposure of new abrasive grains. Chip formation, abrasive grain exposure, and dressing are certain attributes associated with bonded abrasives, and which distinguish bonded abrasives from other classes of abrasives, such as coated abrasives or single layer electroplated tools.
- complex shape refers to a shape (e.g., of an opening within a workpiece) or a shape of a part (e.g., a bonded abrasive body) that has a contour defining a re-entrant shape.
- a re-entrant shape does not allow a mating form to be removed in a direction normal to one of three axes (i.e., x, y or z).
- a "re-entrant shape” can be a contour that is re-entering or pointing inward, which is wider at an inner axial position than at an outer axial position (i.e., an entrance).
- An example of the reentrant shape is a dovetail slot, a keystone shape, and the like.
- Turbine components such as jet engine, rotors, compressor blade assembly, typically employ re- entrant shaped slots in the turbine disks.
- the re-entrant shape can be used to hold or retain turbine blades around the periphery of turbine disks.
- Mechanical slides, T-slots to clamp parts on a machine table also use such re-entrant shaped slots.
- an initial slot formation process can be undertaken, which forms an opening within the workpiece.
- the opening or slot does not necessarily have the final contour (i.e., complex shape).
- the slot formation process can remove the bulk of material, minimizing the amount of material to be removed in the complex shape finishing process with a bonded abrasive tool.

- FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) include workpieces 18 A and 18B that can be formed by the slot formation processes 10 of the invention, respectively.
- slot 16 has a single diameter throughout the depths of the slot 16, as shown in FIG. 2(a). In another embodiment, slot 16 has at least two distinct diameters at different depths, as shown in FIG. 2(b).
- the slot formation process may utilize a particular specific cutting energy.
- the specific cutting energy may be equal to, or less than, about 10 Hp/in 3 min (about 27 J/mm 3 ), such as between about 0.5 Hp/in 3 min (about 1.4 J/mm 3 ) and about 10 Hp/in 3 min (about 27 J/mm 3 ) or between about 1 Hp/in 3 min (about 2.7 J/mm 3 ) and about 10 Hp/in 3 min (about 27 J/mm 3 ).
- the slot formation process can be conducted at a particular material removal rate (MRR), such as in a range of between about 0.25 in 3 /min in (about 2.7 mm 3 /sec/mm) and about 60 in 3 /min in (about 650 mm 3 /sec/mm) at a maximum specific cutting energy of about 10 Hp/in 3 min (about 27 J/mm 3 ).
- MRR material removal rate
- the slot formation process, and thus the finishing process of the embodiments herein can be completed on certain types of materials, including hard-to-grind materials.
- the invention workpieces can be metallic, and particularly metal alloys such titanium, Inconel (e.g., IN-718), steel-chrome-nickel alloys (e.g., 100 Cr6), carbon steel (AISI 4340 and AISI 1018) and combinations thereof.
- the workpiece can have hardness value of equal to or less than about 65 Rc, such as between about 4 Rc and about 65 Rc (or 84 to 111 Rb hardness). This is in contrast to prior art machining processes that typically can be used only for softer materials, i.e., those having a maximum hardness value of about 32 Rc.
- the metallic workpieces for the invention have a hardness value of between about 32 Rc and about 65 Rc or between about 36 Rc and about 65 Rc.

- the bonded abrasive tools can be dressed in-situ with the finishing process.
- Dressing is understood in the art as a method of sharpening and reshaping of a bonded abrasive body, and is typically an operation conducted on bonded abrasive articles and not an operation suitable for use with other abrasive articles, including for example, single-layered abrasive tools (e.g. electroplated abrasive bodies).
- FIG. 5 includes a cross-sectional illustration of a dressing operation in accordance with an embodiment.
- FIG. 5 includes a cross- sectional view of a portion of a bonded abrasive tool 400 including a bonded abrasive body having abrasive grains contained within a matrix of bond material.
- the bonded abrasive tool according to embodiments herein can be dressed during finishing operations to maintain the contour of the bonded abrasive body, which facilitates improved accuracy of the finishing operation and improved tool life over other conventional mounted point abrasive tools.
- a dressing material 501 which may include a significantly sharp material, can be placed in contact with the profile edge of the bonded abrasive body 401.
- the bonded abrasive body 401 may be rotated relative to the dressing material 501 to sharpen and recontour the profile edge of the bonded abrasive body.
- the dressing material 501 may be rotated relative to the bonded abrasive body 401.
- the bonded abrasive body 401 and dressing material 501 can be rotated at the same time, and may be rotated in the same direction or in opposite directions depending upon the type of dressing.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a plunge dressing operation, wherein the dressing material 501 is placed in full contact with the form length of the abrasive body 401.
- Plunge dressing may offer a significant advantage over other operations as a mechanism to keep the bonded abrasive body 401 having a particular contour suitable for finishing of the surfaces of the workpiece to a complex shape and tight dimensional tolerances.
- the surface of the dressing material 501 has significantly the same complex contour as the form length of the abrasive body 401 for proper recontouring of the abrasive body 401.
- the dressing material 501 can be shaped to have a complementary complex shape, such that the dressing material 501 can engage the bonded abrasive body 401 along the full periphery of the form length during dressing.
- the ability to dress the bonded abrasive body 401 during the finishing operation can facilitate longer tool life and improved consistency of the finish surfaces including dimensions and surface geometries (e.g. R a ).
- FIG. 5 illustrates a plunge dressing operation
- other dressing operations including for example, a traverse dressing operation
- Traverse dressing can include placing a dressing material in contact with the bonded abrasive, particularly in contact with a portion of the profile of the bonded abrasive body.
- traverse dressing differs from plunge dressing in that only a portion of the form length is dressed at any time, since the dressing material is not necessarily given a complex shape to complement the complex shape of the bonded abrasive body, as is the case in plunge dressing.
- traverse dressing operations utilize a dressing material that is moved, or traversed, along the complex shape of the form length of the bonded abrasive body until the full form length has been dressed. Traverse dressing may be completed in situ with finishing operations.
- a workpiece of Inconel 718 having dimensions of 2.85 x 2.00 x 1.50 inches was placed in a modified Cinternal ID/OD two-axis CNC grinder available from Heald Grinders.
- a finishing operation was conducted on the workpiece using a vitrified cBN mounted point tool (B120- 2-B5-VCF10) from Saint-Gobain Corporation having a complex shape as illustrated in FIG. 4.
- the bonded abrasive body had a form depth (FD) of 0.8, a form ratio (FR) of 1.5, and an overhang ratio of 1.57.
- the tool had a form width of approximately 4.1 cm, an overhang length (OL) of 1.19 cm, a minimum diameter of 0.762 cm, and a maximum diameter of 3.76 cm.
- the finishing process was conducted to simulate finishing of one 2 inch thick rotor with 60 slots to completion (equivalent to removing 1.2 inches of material from a 2 inch workpiece).
- the depth of cut per pass was 0.0005", such that the total depth of cut was a 0.010 inch on each side of a slot at a wheel speed of 40,000 rpm.
- the wheel speed of 40,000 rpm produced a range of surface speeds on the bonded abrasive tool ranging from a maximum at the largest diameter of 16,755 sfpm to 3,140 sfpm at the smallest diameter.
- Two finishing operations were conducted at work speeds of 50 ipm and 100 ipm, and for each of the work speeds, two separate workpieces were used. For each of the tests, 1.2 inches of material was removed from the workpieces without dressing.
- an oil coolant (Master Chemical OM-300) was provided at the interface of the bonded abrasive tool and the surface of the workpiece using a nozzle designed to target multiple jets across the form at 100 psi with a flow rate of approximately 29.2 gpm.
- the bonded abrasive body was dressed under the conditions set forth in Table 1 below.
- the bonded abrasive body was dressed twice; once at the start of the 100 ipm test and again at the start of the 50 ipm test.
- FIG. 6A includes a plot of finishing power (Hp) versus slot length (i.e., the number of inches of slot length finished) for the finishing operations.
- plot 601 represents power versus slot length for the finishing operation conducted at 50 ipm
- plot 603 represents power versus slot length for the finishing operation 100 ipm.
- the finishing power did not exceed 2.2 Hp for the material removal process at 50 ipm
- the finishing power did not exceed 2.8 Hp for material removal at 100 ipm.
- the results demonstrate significantly limited finishing power necessary for many slots.
- FIG. 6B includes plots of finishing power (Hp) versus specific material removal rate corresponding to 50 and 100 ipm for various lengths of completed slot. As demonstrated by FIG. 6B, the finishing power was less than 2.8 Hp for specific material removal rates of up to 0.5 in 3 /min/in. The results demonstrate significantly limited power necessary for finishing of the surface with commercially acceptable material removal rates.
- the abrasive tool and method of finishing workpieces using the abrasive tools of embodiments herein represent a departure from the state of the art. In particular, state of the art mechanisms for finishing such workpieces and materials, particularly to form re-entrant shapes in materials to tight dimensional tolerances have not utilized the tools or mechanisms described herein.
- the abrasive tools of embodiments herein utilize a combination of features including, for example, abrasive grains disbursed volumetrically in a matrix of bonding material, complex shapes described by form depth, overhang ratio, and form ratio.
- the bonded abrasive tools of embodiments herein are utilized in a particular manner to facilitate finishing operations having characteristics which have not been utilized before.
- the bonded abrasive tools are capable of finishing workpieces to complex re-entrant shapes under particular conditions including locational speeds of the tool, feed rates, material removal rates, finishing power, and the like.
